It's never too early or too late to start sharing books with your baby. Sharing books from an early age helps your child to develop...and it's fun!
At your baby's seven to nine month developmental check, your health visitor will give you a free bag with two free picture books and lots of reading tips.
Listening and talking, loving and sharing!
